Data Selection for Regression Tasks

For a finite multiset D={z1,…,zN}⊆RdD=\{z_1,\ldots,z_N\}\subseteq\mathbb R^d, let

LD(h)=1N∑i=1N∥h−zi∥2,quadLD⋆=min⁡hLD(h), L_D(h)=\frac1N\sum_{i=1}^N\|h-z_i\|^2,quad L_D^\star=\min_hL_D(h),

and let LD⋆(n)L_D^\star(n) be the minimum full-data loss obtained by averaging nn selected points. More generally, for examples z=(x,y)∈Rd×Rmz=(x,y)\in\mathbb R^d\times\mathbb R^m, let the min-Frobenius-norm ERM choose a linear map W ⁣:Rd→RmW\colon\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb R^m under loss ∥Wx−y∥2\|Wx-y\|^2.

  1. For fixed d>1d>1 and n>1n>1, what is the value of F(d,n)=sup⁡DLD⋆(n)/LD⋆F(d,n)=\sup_D L_D^\star(n)/L_D^\star for mean estimation in Rd\mathbb R^d?

  2. For weighted scalar linear regression, what is the value of sup⁡DLD⋆(n;A⋆)/LD⋆\sup_D L_D^\star(n;A^\star)/L_D^\star when d<n<2dd<n<2d, where A⋆A^\star is the min-norm ERM and the learner chooses a convex combination of nn example losses?

  3. Given d,m,nd,m,n, what is the value of the unweighted general linear-prediction ratio F(d,m,n)F(d,m,n)?

  4. Given d,m,nd,m,n, what is the value of the weighted ratio Fweighted(d,m,n)F_{\rm weighted}(d,m,n)? In particular, what is the minimal n=n(d,m)n=n(d,m) such that this ratio equals 11?
